Five different groups, five different adventures on our travel to Fjørtofta-the host village :)

NORWAY
Vegard came and picked up us up at our home 12.30. We arrived to the ferry place where we met people from Belarus and Serbia. We were a bit nervous, but it was ok. People looked nice, and they were. When the ferry came, we went inside with all our bags and things. All the people from Serbia and Belarus wanted to go up and out on ferry, but that is not normal here, but Tove asked permission and it was ok. It was funny to see how happy they got when they could do this.
The trip was not so long for us. An hour, maybe. The only thing we knew was that this would be fun!

SERBIA
Five representatives of delegation of Serbia, encouraged by adventure spirit, started with a trip to the islands of Norway. First we took a flight from Belgrade to Munich. We were actually late to catch the connecting flight to Oslo but the plane was actually waiting for us, nice! :)
After a long hour running we reached the plane, took breakfast and enjoyed a view from plane window. We arrived in Oslo, where we had an unpleasant situation becouse Nebojsa´s suitcase was broken, which made our journey a bit more difficult. After that we took the plane to Ålesund, where we were welcomed by the rain. A group from Belarus arrived after a few hours. We were very happy to see them since we had heard so many nice things about them before. Together we set of to Brattvag where we spent our first night. We were amazed and surprised by the youth centre, which we found beautifull!
We had so much fun there with the Belarusian group cos we could use billiard, listen to music, play games, prepare interesting food and etc. Next day we took a ferry to  Fjørtofta, enjoyed in a beautiful nature and after that waited to greet other participants. It was a great adventure coming here :) ///Veljko, Milisav, Nebojsa, Minja

SPAIN
Everything began at 6 am in Bilbao (where we had to get by car earlier!). On our first flight to Frankfurt Edu was so tired that he immediately fell asleep. He had just opened his eyes when one of the cabin crew members offered a cheese or ham sandwich. With his sleepy eyes he saw something dark brown (german type of bread) and thinking of chocolate said: "CHOCOLATE". The flight attendant looked at him confused and walked away (!?!) 

On our second flight to Stavenger, when a lovely flight attendant offered us an aperitif, Edu was 100% awake and concentrated and managed to get his sandwich :)

Pass the security control in Stavenger, one of the officers reminded Ruben it was not allowed to bring liquid in flasks bigger than 100 ml, as he had found a half a liter bottle of water in Ruben´s backpack. Ruben preferred to drink the whole bottle of water, rather than to throw it away.

It was already 4 pm when we finally got to Ålesund where we had to wait for a group from Montenegro arriving at the airport at 8 pm. After useless efforts to use a norwegian coffee machine (we had no coins and our credit cards seemed not to work!) we decided to go to a Cafe. Unfortunately the only place to have a coffee was on the other side of the airpor, which meant we had to pass the security control once again.  Poor Rubén had to drink his whole bottle of water in order not to have to trow it away. He seem to love his bottle very much. We finally reached the island of Fjørtofta very late at night, exhausted but very happy to meet other young participants from Serbia, Belarus and Norway. And...we had the opportunity to taste yummy crabs- gifted to us by a local fisherman.

MONTENEGRO

At 10.10.p.m. we took a train to Belgrade. It was funny because there was a lot of smoke in the train, so everyone was laughing and being scared at the same time.

We had to take three flights before we got to Ålesund. We arrived late, and there was a small boat waitinfg for us to take us to Fjørtofta.

Our trip was exciting but we were extremely tired. We were very happy when we arrived as there was a Spanish group waiting for us.
